Well my friend, all I have to say is the track can be just as dangerous. Most people only race on the street when the conditions are comparable to a track or even safer. Just because its on the street doesnt mean there is more danger most of the time.
Auto-X? I have seen tons of videos or people getting whiped out on the sidelines watching.
Drag strip? I've seen more videos of people wrecking there than I have of street racers hitting stuff. I've had more friends wreck at the track than on the street.
1/4 Oval? Same thing.
My area has been blessed with few accidents in street racing. The people around here know when its relatively safe and when its not safe. Sure its dangerous, getting in your car to go to work is just as dangerous. I personally am more afraid of having a newby driver, an old grandma that cant see, a woman talking on her Cell phone and putting on make up trying to cut across 4 lanes of traffic, or other bad drivers taking me out.
If we write a post about cutting people off and weaving in and out of traffic, then sure, delete it. But if I am racing at 3am on a 4 lane one way street with no pedestrians, no other cars except 1 other car 2 lanes away revving his engine at the stop light, don't be a retard and delete my post or roll your eyes at me saying how dangerous it is to street race. (I am not saying you have offended me or anything, its just some people go overboard with the antagonism)
